What's in 1.1.0

  • Browser viewer. Watch the camera from an iPad, laptop or any browser on the same
    Wi-Fi. Hardware H.264 from the phone, adjustable resolution, scan the QR code on the
    phone to open it.
  • Tap control. Tap the picture in the browser to tap the phone: record, focus, switch
    lenses. Turn it on under Accessibility (the app's Enable button takes you there).
  • Steadier on weak Wi-Fi. The stream lowers its bitrate within half a second when the
    link struggles and climbs back when it's clean, instead of freezing.
  • Watch viewfinder with a Bluetooth shutter, Photo, Video and Last-used-mode sessions,
    and a red shutter while the phone records.

Known issues

  • On some watches the Bluetooth shutter link drops when a session starts. Turning
    Bluetooth off and on on the watch restores it.
  • Android asks you to approve screen sharing at the start of every session. That's an OS
    rule and can't be skipped.
  • One viewer per session: the watch or a browser, not both.
